Thanks Mel,
Now i have recovered, ribs 90 % no pain, will miss this weekend races at castle combed, Wiltshire,
So will start to dismantle it and see how deep the damage is, I put in some serious sub frames under front and rear fairing so they are nearly intact, just cracked.
Hope it has nor damaged frame.

I found the first time I broke ribs, they recovered with no residual pain. Also on the next two occasions I cracked them. But the next time, well, I still have pain from that one  :lol


This has been a good thread to follow Bill; hope we'll be seeing more soon  :thumbup

Hi Nick, hope you are all good and the bones creaking   :lol
Had a look last night,  I think I can salvage the master cylinder,  just need alloy cap, gasket,washer, screws, it all got ripped off, threads still work as stubs of screws unscrewed ok.
Got to remove fairing, brackets twisted, rear wheel had a dent inward on rim, 3" long, I can bash this out, these rims are very soft, have banged dents from front and rear ones.

The crash bungs did there job, got scuffed but no bike metal damage  both sides hit tarmac and upside down,  just screen and brake fluid cap
